What I love most about Great Escape is that I believe the Directors truly love the kids. My son…read more(21 months) is greeted with a warm welcome every morning and wakes up saying the name of one of one of the directors because he wants to go to school. I have watched the directors make tough decisions and they have always done so in the best interest of the families. We are grateful for the way they handled COVID, ensuring that parents were a part of the re-opening decision and have taken the necessary precautions by making changes to ensure the safety and health of our children. I have referred friends and family members to them. The teachers also love my son. I originally chose Great Escape because they seemed to be the only place taking a September birthday at age one (part time). I am grateful for their care and flexibility. This summer they have had elementary care available too in which they have brought in special activities such as putt putt golf and oversized blocks for construction building contests.

Our 4 1/2 year old son, Dylan has thoroughly enjoyed Great Escape Early Learning Center in…read moreLittleton. The classes are small. The teachers are awesome. The Director, Jennelle Kreishner, has provided us with everything we need and everything that Dylan needs. Dylan has a lot of special needs as he has a peanut allergy and is mildly autistic. He has done nothing but thrive at Great Escape. I highly recommend Great Escape for your pre-school child especially if you have two working parents who need a lot of flexibility in your child's care. Their prices are very reasonable, too!" - Phil R.

The ultimately care more about your child than they do their bottom line. We are at the end of our…read morejourney with this lovely company for now and it is bittersweet. Our daughter has loved it here and you can feel genuine care coming from all the staff to her. Through many talks and guidance with her teachers and management, it was discovered that our daughter may have some neurodiversity and benefit from a public preschool that has more resources for her. The staff here genuinely chose our daughter's future success over her tuition and lovingly guided us to a better answer from her. I have zero doubt in my mind that our daughter would still succeed at Kiddie Academy. I'm just glad to have found a daycare/preschool that certainly sees a beautiful young child with so much potential over how our pocketbooks could help their bottom line. Ms. Teri, Mr. Ryan, Ms. Mimi, Ms. Ingrid, Ms. Helen, and so many more: our family is forever grateful for you.

Our son started at Lotus Littles at four months when I went back to work. As a first time mom, I…read morewas super nervous to leave him at daycare, but Yolanda and the teachers in the infant room have been so good to him. He is on oxygen while he sleeps, and they take wonderful care of him and provide peace of mind so that I don't have to worry about him. I really appreciate the constant interaction he gets from his caregivers - this is not a place where the babies lay in their cribs all day. They do a great job of communicating my son's activities so I know exactly how much he eats, sleeps, etc., and they do all sorts of fun activities like painting with the babies. All in all, Lotus Littles is a great daycare with caring teachers that make it feel like one big family. I would absolutely recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for child care.

Absolutely love the daycare and their mission of taking care of the teachers together with the…read morekids. Not every day care has the same stem and a lot of teachers are overworked and exhausted and plainly not happy with their jobs. This place has a good spirit about it, very warm and welcoming atmosphere and although is located in the church building, is not affiliated with it and does not impose or carries out any religious believes, which was important to me. Although the place is new the staff is experienced and have a lot of great ideas of adding more to the happiness of the little ones and the caregivers alike.

All the kids looked happy and the teachers were all very friendly. We get photos and updates through Brightwheel. It makes me happy every time I get one.

This is an amazing place for kids to learn and grow. They have several learning centers for the…read morekids to choose from each day, they have daily outdoor time on the playground, the students learn everything they would learn at any other preschool, plus they have regular chapel with the pastor of Ascension Lutheran to help build on what we teach at home about following Jesus. The director Kelly is the best. Communication with her and from her is consistent, timely, and personal. She helped us get our little one enrolled in the middle of a semester without any issues. All of the teachers are wonderful, as well. They are kind and gentle with the kids. They encourage them to explore on their own. And they teach responsibility. We are extremely happy with Ascension Lutheran Extended Day Preschool. I am sure our little one will be a better person in every way for having attended preschool here.

Never have I met a group of people so dedicated and enthused to teaching little ones that I think they would even do it if they weren't paid to do it. I have NEVER had a bad experience and have dealt with this school for 6 years. I have referred many friends who have also sent numerous children through the program. I highly recommend, at the very least, just going in and meeting the staff and seeing for yourself what I have mentioned above!

We can't speak highly enough of this school and it's staff/teachers. The curriculum is very…read moreorganized, the classrooms are very clean and organized and everyone is very friendly. This truly feels like a little school with hustle & bustle and fun friendly activity when dropping off and picking up our daughter. This is definitely a school setting and not a day care so it really encourages learning & engagement. Our daughter was timid on her first day (naturally) however, her second day and beyond, she's been excited to go to school. She runs up to the teachers and is happy to show them her shirt or gives them hugs. This was a rare occasion at her previous school so it's telling just how comfortable she really is at Primrose. Her teachers Ms. Kelly, Ms. Venita & Ms. Maren have been amazing with our daughter. They always have a smile, friendly and have gentle personalities which foster a warm environment. Delise, the director (principal) has been great to work with, very communicative & very organized which is appreciated! We're super happy at this school! If you like clean, organized & friendly places, you'd be happy here too!

Update: Leadership at Primrose referenced "confidentiality requirements" and "steps already taken,"…read morein their public response to my review (seen below). In the interest of transparency, current and prospective parents should know that those steps included having their attorney at Goodspeed and Merrill send my family a cease‑and‑desist letter threatening a defamation lawsuit in conjunction with a fabricated CPS report if I did not immediately remove my review. The CPS allegations they threatened to file were created by flipping our concerns about the school back onto us; even if those allegations had been true, they still would not constitute child abuse. I'll be attaching the threatening document they sent so families can understand exactly what is going on. My review is based entirely on my firsthand experience. Any parent who wants to understand the situation more fully is welcome to reach out. Original Post: I'm writing this as a parent who keeps receipts- emails, timelines, photos, everything. And based on that documentation, I want other families to know what we experienced here. Our son came home with a bad bruise on his back, yet we heard nothing from the school. When brought to their attention, the school said they documented, but they repeatedly refused to give us the incident report. This wasn't an isolated issue. When our son caught a virus the school had emailed about a week earlier, the owner later denied the presence of the virus -- despite us having the original message. We also discovered missed diaper changes in our son's log that led to a severe diaper rash. From my perspective, this daycare is more focused on protecting its image than being honest with parents or providing consistent care. Please do your homework before enrolling -- ask for policies in writing and trust your instincts.
